    Disney’s Enchanted Christmas 2012, Disneyland Paris: The Christmas Cavalcade

    Apologies for the lack of updates this past week, I work in ecommerce and it’s been crazy busy, to say the least! Anyway, on with the Disneyland Paris articles and this one is about the brand new Christmas Cavalcade which debuted this very month. I have a feeling a lot of people were a bit confused as to what a cavalcade is, as just minutes before I saw it, on Sunday 11th December, there were very few people waiting along Main Street, U.S.A. Maybe they aren’t familiar with the word and…

    I Finally Rode Big Thunder Mountain in Disneyland Paris

    Last weekend was my 13th visit to Disneyland Paris, and on my previous 12 visits I had not once ridden Big Thunder Mountain. In fact it’s probably fair to say that I hadn’t even contemplated it. I’m what you’d call a thrill avoider when it comes to rides – the falls in Pirates of the Caribbean and Casey Jr are enough of an adrenaline rush for me. However, many of you have said that Big Thunder Mountain is the best ride in the resort, and my wife has told me it’s…

    Disney’s Enchanted Christmas 2012, Disneyland Paris: Photo Report – Day 2

    You can see the photos from day 1 here, and now we move on to day 2, the last day of my short but magical visit to Disneyland Paris for Christmas 2012. Not long after that last photo was taken I made my way over to the station for the start of my journey home, sad to leave, but enriched by what I’d experienced. It’s those experiences that I will go into far greater detail in some upcoming posts, so stay tuned. Dedicated to DLP at Disney’s Enchanted Christmas in Disneyland…

    Disney’s Enchanted Christmas 2012, Disneyland Paris: it’s a small world celebration Video

    I’ve been on it’s a small world many times and it’s one of my favourite rides, both for the music and the visuals. For the past few years it’s a small world has been transformed in Disneyland Paris into what is called it’s a small world celebration. This is a Christmas season overlay of the classic ride with festive tunes inter-woven with that classic song we all know, and most of us love. The dolls also get costumes and there are some extra props and special effects. It makes an amazing…

    Disney’s Enchanted Christmas 2012, Disneyland Paris: Frontierland at Night

    This past weekend I was lucky enough to attend Disney’s Enchanted Christmas, which was one of the most magical weekends I have ever spent in Disneyland Paris. It’s been a very busy few days with little rest, and I have so many videos, photos, interviews and experiences to share with you. To fully do it justice I must recharge my batteries and get my beauty sleep 😉 However, I couldn’t wait any longer to share a couple of photos I took on Saturday night while the park was closed to all…
